Hi there
I have this annouyin g problem, about which several postings have been made. However, none of the solutions given have helped me solve it, so I'll try again
We are using Exchangeserver 5.5 and MS Outlook 2000 as mailclient. A week ago there were some serious problems with a virus and since then my send emails stay in the outbox, but are send and also transferred to sendmailbox. Initially I could not even delete the mails in the outbox, so every night all my mails were resend. A few days ago administrator managed to do something, so now I am able to delete the outbox, but this is a ridiculous way of mailhandling
It seems that I am the only 1 experiencing this problem, the sole advice I have gotten is to delete my outbox at the end of the working day. Which is not an optimum solution either
My workstation is running WindowsXP with all the sp's & patches, The mailserver is W2K with uptodate sp's and patches

Any suggestions

TIA
Hans Brouwer
 
You should be able to delete messages from the Outbox when you are in
Offline mode (File-> Work Offline) and restart Outlook. Now when you've
cleared the Outbox you must make sure you've placed Outlook back on-line.
Also make sure your setting to save your Drafts in configured to use the
Drafts folder and not the Outbox.
